Rocky Shore, plein air, birds

"Rocky Shore"  

Fawn McNeill © 2007

I recently repainted part of this older plein air painting.  (Done on location.) 

The water level was very low, and the rocks made interesting patterns. It was challenging, to say the least!  

The little blue heron stayed off to the far right most of the morning, and just before I finished up, the water turkey (anhinga) poked his head up a few times (near the bottom).

I loved all the colors and the rhythm in this painting, but I went back and toned down some of the rocks, mostly on the left and a little near the top, in order to direct the viewer's eye toward the bird on the right.

Flaming Sunset, poinciana, impasto, Florida Art

"Flaming Sunset"

These royal poinciana trees are gorgeous, and really over painted.  Not hard to see why. 

I found this old palette knife painting that needed a few more corrections (it has sat around my studio for a year or so).  I have done a lot of these, so I wanted to do something a little different this time. I built it up with gesso and impasto effects, so the raised flowers really jump off the painting! Very interesting texture and color contrast.

Spring Shoreline,colorful morning

"Spring Shoreline"

(original demo)

11x14 inches

Acrylic on canvas

This was the first of 2, painted this past April.  I created it as a guide, then did the step-by-step painting during class for the second one.  Lots of strong colors, which I love to paint.

The challenging part was getting the waves to curve on the beach,  but every one captured it nicely.  Each painting turns out unique and different, as I encourage my students to move things around and use their favorite colors.

Soul Searching, sunset, beach, Florida art

"Soul Searching"

© 2018 by Fawn McNeill

(A heart-shaped cloud, and angels)

(The woman)

   This large painting was done mostly from memory.  I added the lone woman on the beach to suggest times of reflection and questioning. She also implies the vastness of it all. 

     I actually saw a heart-shaped cloud in the sky recently, so I added it to suggest the amazing ways that Father God sends reminders of his love for us. This is especially true for me when I am struggling.       

  Most of the time we miss it.  He sends so many people and remarkable things our way, so if we do ask, or search, we can find Him. He wants to bless us and help us, but we must ask and receive it! (He will not force his ways on us.)

Royal Poinciana study, Florida art

"Poinciana Study"

Original class painting

16 x 20 inches, acrylic on canvas

SOLD

Happy New Year!  

This painting was created during a class, while teaching my students how to create similar trees. We used my own photos and sketches as I demonstrated each step of the painting.  

My students are encouraged to move things around, use different colors, and add extra plants or animals to their paintings. Each painting turns out very unique.

Did you know these trees also come in yellow?

Maggie Mae, yellow labrador, animal portrait

"Maggie Mae"

24 x 30 inches

Acrylic on canvas

SOLD

In  memory of Maggie.  Combined different images to put this custom painting together.  The rocks were very challenging! Wanted them to look just like the rocks on her wall.  So many wonderful contrasts: soft fur and hard rocks, pink azaleas and green grass... Yellow butterflies for added accents, just love co-creating custom orders with my clients!

Chloe and Sweetie, macaw and green-cheek parrot

"Chloe and Sweetie"

So excited to finally get to post this!  It was a custom painting for a Christmas present, so I didn't want to spoil the surprise!

Used different photos of these two, and combined them into one setting.  Had to figure out the size relationship between them... Love the colors and simulated textures.

New Hope, Brahmans, cattle, Florida Art

"New Hope"

© Fawn McNeill 2015

Painted this a couple of years ago, but didn't get to post it because I couldn't get a good image of it.  I  wanted to make it available in prints, so I tried again. (This painting includes a unique custom frame.)

I actually took pictures of this calf peeking around a tree.  The mother was a little farther away.  Took a lot of nice images of different cows and bulls as well.  Next, I sketched out some ideas before drawing this composition onto the canvas.  I added water and mist to the background for that foggy morning haze that is so common around here. The flowers add the feeling of spring, a time for new life and hope.

I Am, true immortal, Jesus

"I Am"

20 x 24 inches

Acrylic on canvas

By far the most challenging thing I have ever painted.  More than a year of work, and many tears went into this painting.

I kept thinking about the focus of Halloween: fear, death, blood, the un-dead, etc....  I thought about the one who brings love, life, forgiveness, joy, and restoration.  I'm not talking about religion or rules or tradition.  (I'm talking about the man who gave us two commandments: Love God Almighty with all your mind, heart and soul, and love your neighbor as yourself.) So I wanted the focus to be on him!

"Very Truly I tell you," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I Am!"  John 8:58
